- Divers Lodge Lembeh
The Lembeh Strait already has the reputation as probably the world's best muck diving spot, but there is also a great deal more. When you see a picture of a pygmy seahorse, a hairy frogfish, a delicate ghost pipefish or a mimic octopus, it is likely the picture was taken at one of Lembeh’s thirty dive sites.
However the Lembeh Strait has much more to offer as well, including walls, coral gardens and four wrecks. There are wonderful, colourful coral dive sites such as Angel’s Window, and occasionally divers will also see sharks, eagle rays, turtles, barracudas and tuna here. The east side of Lembeh Island still remains largely unexplored.
Divers Lodge Lembeh is a somewhat unique dive facility. Few other places will you find seven dive guides, one instructor and six boats catering for a maximum of ten guests. In total, the guides have clocked up more than 10.000 hours of diving in the Lembeh Strait and few places on the sea bottom are unfamiliar to them, and even fewer creatures can hide from their experienced spotting eyes. There are never more than two guests with one dive guide, unless of course the guests specifically choose to dive in a larger group.
Our English speaking guides show you creatures you may never discover on your own and allow you to take your time to observe them more closely. This is ideal for photographers and videographers, since patience is the key to a good result. There is no time limit imposed on your dive, provided you stay within your computer limits and have enough air! And if you book a non-limit dive package in advance, you and your buddy will have a boat to yourselves, so you decide how many times you want to dive, where and when – this is true “no limit” diving. However, we do ask that all divers adhere to our house rules: preferably no deeper than 30 meters and no deco dive profiles.
While most guests use their own dive gear, complete sets are available for rental (starting from only Euro 10 per day). Please book in advance. NITROX is available, with a surcharge of only Euro 2,50.
Divers Lodge Lembeh's boats are specially designed for diving. They all provide good shelter, an on-board toilet, a spacious working area, 220/230 volt electricity, a fresh water tank for camera equipment and all necessary safety devices. Cold soft drinks, water and hot tea and coffee, as well as cookies and fruits, are available as snacks after diving. A delicious lunch is also served on board.
The house reef offers, apart from other things, an amazing number of Mandarin fish. But also here we prefer to dive from a boat. You can easily make up to 4 or 5 dives if you want.
Dive Season
You can dive Lembeh Strait all year through. During the period November until April the wind is coming from the Northwest. This time of year you can dive also at the beautiful ocean side of Lembeh island. July until September often bring strong winds from the South.
Air temperatures throughout the year vary between 24 - 31 degrees C. Water temperature range between 26 and 29 degrees, with the coldest months being July and August. A 3 mm full suit with a hood should be sufficient for most of the year, but photographers and those who are not used to colder waters may want a 5 mm suit.

Divers Lodge Lembeh is situated on the south west tip of Lembeh Island, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. There are no roads on the Island. There are some villages and settlements, but none in the immediate vicinity of the resort. The resort can only be reached by boat from the town of Bitung across the Strait.
The resort is situated on a ridge and is an oasis of tranquility and natural beauty, surrounded by 25 hectares of protected area. In the west is Lembeh Strait and in the south and east you see the beautiful Bay of Walenokoko and the Maluku Sea.
The resort consists of only nine houses. Six of these are guest bungalows. Divers Lodge Lembeh is a small intimate resort which can accommodate a maximum of ten guests. The bungalows are scattered around the hill and each has its own path and private access. In this way every guest is guaranteed privacy.
Every bungalow has a spacious terrace with chairs and a living/bedroom with a choice of either a twin bed or two single beds, a work table and a sitting area. The ensuite bathroom is equipped with a shower with running hot and cold water, a western toilet and a washbasin.
All guests take their meals together with Linda and Rob, the owners, at one long table. The restaurant with an open air lounge has a beautiful view of the bay and the sunset behind the volcano, Mount Klabat. The lounge is also the perfect spot to review your diving pictures or films, play games, read a book or enjoy a chat with fellow guests over a cold drink. A widescreen HDTV with surround home theatre sound system, a wide range of novels, DVD movies, music and marine life identification guides are provided for your use and enjoyment.
the lounge, the computer room and in the sheltered part of the boats, if you are a smoker you needn’t worry! There are lots of places left where you can enjoy a cigarette, for example on your private terrace in front of your bungalow, in the gardens or on the beach.
3 spacious bungalows (dimension room 4,50 x 5,50 meters)
Special table for your camera and a lot of privacy
All rooms offer a superb view and will give you all the privacy you want.
This unique piece of underwater world deserves also a unique dive center. The English speaking dive guides, Samuel and Wilson, were among the first who discovered diving in the area. Together they have made more than 10.000 dives in Lembeh Strait.
The resort's unique style of diving means only one or two divers with each guide. This guarantees that you can dive the way you like it. Although we dive without time limits we do not make decompression dives or dives deeper than 30 meters.
